Laminate floors by nature simply are not shiny. You need to contact your (and/or other) laminate flooring manufacturers to answer this question because if you use anything other than what they recommend not only could your warranty be null and void but you risk ruining the floors.

The best and safest place to find this answer is to call two or three laminate flooring companies. Using anything other than what they recommend can harm the floors over time and will void the flooring warranty. One of the products not recommended for some laminates is mop and glow. I've had laminate flooring in the past and one of the recommended safe solutions is the vinegar and water suggested by another poster here.

I find that mopping with vinegar and water or steam cleaning works very well, but the floor must be thoroughly dried or it will be streaky. I tie a towel to my dust mop and dry each section as I clean it. Seems like a lot of work, but it's worth it and I only have to do it about three or four times a year.
